Letters

We are writing this letter as extremely frustrated, concerned and disappointed parents. Our son is currently participating in the 3rd/4th grade boys basketball program provided by Carroll County Parks and Recreation.

My name is Lee Jones, and my family and I have resided in Carroll County for nearly seven years now. My wife (Samantha Jones) and I have three amazing daughters that attend school here in Carrollton. Rhiannon (17), a senior at CCHS, top 10 in her class and will be attending the University of Kentucky in the fall of this year, Emma (12) sixth grade at CCMS and Penny (11) fifth grade at Cartmell Elementary.

The residents and staff of Carrollton Manor would like to thank everyone in the community that contributed to the clothing drive/adoption at our facility and to others who have donated clothing, food, knick-knacks and their time. A special thank you to Rev. Tim Polley for organizing the clothing drive/adoption and a very special thank you to Reva McManis, without her taking the first step to make people aware of our residents and their situation none of this could have been possible.

The third annual Sheriff Jamie Kinman Scholarship Trail Ride, which took place on Saturday, Oct. 15, was a huge success! The proceeds of the trail ride will benefit local students who plan to attend college, in the form of an academic scholarship. We had around 90 riders this year and raised enough money to give $3,500 in scholarships. I look forward to rewarding students within our community with this money in hopes of allowing them financial relief while striving to follow their dreams.

The family of Chris Hendrick would like to express our thanks to the people of Carroll County and beyond for their generous outreach to our son and our family. The expressions of thoughts and offers of prayers have been overwhelming. The response to the Go Fund Me account has been humbling.

The hugs and offers of everything from taking Chris to his treatments to mowing the yard to cooking meals for his family to even cleaning the house have guaranteed that dry eye syndrome is not an issue for us.

The Carroll County 4-H Shooting Sports club would like to thank everyone who participated in the Top Shot competition held at the Tobacco Festival this past weekend. The winner in the rifle competition was Lloyd Bratcher with a score of 70 with 2 bulls-eyes. The winner of the pistol competition was Nick Abbot just edging out his dad by three with a score of 59.

Special thanks to Junior Welch and the Tobacco Festival Committee, Mason Ray for the range help and the never ending dedication of Bobbie Giles.
